Of course the teacher's union doesn't want an evaluation system.

They already know what the results of that evaluation will be!

Here's the problem with unions - they never come up with solutions. I know a couple of teachers and many of them are not happy at the fact that the union never came up with a teacher evaluation.

But I also agree with "a teacher". I'm a NYC public school alum and I've seen the reason why our schools have declined and it has NOTHING to do with the teachers. It has to do with:
(1)the DOE NEVER changing the curriculum or the Chancellor's rule book
(2)the DOE not providing schools the resources necessary for it to be successful - and its been like this for well over 20 years
(3)students coming to school unprepared to do ANYTHING. They can't even dress properly.
(4)parents not present and accountable when their child is misbehaving or failing. Many of these parents are told that their child isn't achieveing and these parents do absolutely nothing about it.
